< Daniel 11 >
1 I, therefore, in the first year of Darius the Mede, was at my station to strengthen and embolden him;
Eu, pois, no primeiro anno de Dario, medo, estive para o esforçar e fortalecer.
2 and, now, the truth, I will tell thee: —Lo! there are, yet three kings, to arise—belonging to Persia, and, the fourth, will amass greater riches than they all, and, when he hath strengthened himself in his riches, the whole, will stir up, the kingdom of Greece.
E agora te declararei a verdade: Eis que ainda tres reis estarão na Persia, e o quarto será enriquecido de grandes riquezas mais do que todos; e, esforçando-se com as suas riquezas, suscitará a todos contra o reino da Grecia.
3 And so a hero king, will arise, —and wield great authority, and do according to his own pleasure;
Depois se levantará um rei valente, que reinará com grande dominio, e fará o que lhe aprouver.
4 but, when he hath arisen, his kingdom, shall be broken in pieces, and be divided, toward the four winds of the heavens, —but not to his own posterity, nor according to his own authority which he wielded, for his kingdom, shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.
Mas, estando elle em pé, o seu reino será quebrado, e será repartido para os quatro ventos do céu, porém não para a sua posteridade, nem tão pouco segundo o seu dominio com que reinou, porque o seu reino será arrancado, e será para outros fóra d'estes.
5 But a king of the south, will become strong, even from among his rulers, —and will prevail against him, and have authority, a great authority, shall his authority be.
E se esforçará o rei do sul, um d'entre os seus principes; mas outro se esforçará, mais do que elle, e reinará, e dominio grande será o seu dominio,
6 And, at the end of years, they will league together, yea, the daughter of the king of the south, will go in unto the king of the north, to make peace, but she shall not retain strength of arm, neither shall he stand, nor his arm, but she shall be delivered up—she herself, and they who brought her in, and he who begat her, and he that strengthened her in the times.
Mas, ao cabo de alguns annos, um com outro fará concerto; e a filha do rei do sul virá ao rei do norte para fazer um tratado, mas ella não terá força de braço; nem elle persistirá, nem o seu braço, porque ella será entregue, e os que a tiverem trazido, e seu pae, e o que a esforçava n'aquelles tempos!
7 But one will stand up from the sprout of her roots, [in] his stead, —and he will enter the army, and enter into a fortress of the king of the north, and deal with them and shew himself strong;
Mas do renovo das suas raizes um se levantará em seu logar, e virá com o exercito, e entrará nas fortalezas do rei do norte, e obrará contra elles, e prevalecerá.
8 yea, even their gods, with their molten images, with their delightful vessels of silver and gold, with a host of captives, will he bring into Egypt, —and, he, will stand more, years, than the king of the north;
E tambem os seus deuses com os seus principes, com os seus vasos preciosos de prata e oiro, levará captivos para o Egypto; e por alguns annos elle persistirá contra o rei do norte.
9 so will the king of the south, enter into the kingdom, and then return unto his own soil.
Assim entrará o rei do sul no reino, e tornará para a sua terra.
10 But, his sons, will rouse themselves to war, and gather together a multitude of large armies, but he will come on and on, and overflow and pass through, —and will return and wage war, up to his fortress.
Porém seus filhos se entremetterão em guerra, e ajuntarão grande numero de exercitos, e um d'elles virá á pressa, e inundará, e passará, e tornará a entremetter-se em guerra, até chegar á sua fortaleza
11 Then will the king of the south, be enraged, and go forth and fight with him, with the king of the north, —and will raise a great multitude, but the multitude, will be delivered, into his hand.
Então o rei do sul se exasperará, e sairá, e pelejará contra elle, a saber, contra o rei do norte, que porá em campo grande multidão, mas aquella multidão será entregue na sua mão
12 And, when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart, will be uplifted, —and he will cause tens of thousands to fall, but will not conquer.
Quando fôr tirada aquella multidão, o seu coração se elevará: ainda que derribará muitos milhares, comtudo não prevalecerá.
13 Then will the king of the north again raise a multitude, greater than the first, —and, at the end of the times—some years, he will come on and on with a great army, and with great substance.
Porque o rei do norte tornará, e porá em campo uma multidão maior do que a primeira, e ao cabo dos tempos, isto é, annos, virá á pressa com grande exercito e com muita fazenda.
14 And, in those times, many, will rise against the king of the south, —and, the sons of the oppressors of thy people, will exalt themselves to confirm the vision, but will be overthrown.
E, n'aquelles tempos, muitos se levantarão contra o rei do sul; e os filhos dos prevaricadores do teu povo se levantarão para confirmar a visão, e cairão.
15 Then will come in the king of the north, and cast up a rampart, and capture a city of strongholds, —and, the arms of the south, will not rise, nor the people of his chosen ones, and there shall be no strength to rise.
E o rei do norte virá, e levantará baluartes, e tomará a cidade forte; e os braços do sul não poderão subsistir, nem o seu povo escolhido, pois não haverá força para subsistir.
16 So shall he that cometh against him do according to his own pleasure, and, none, shall stand before him, —therefore will he take his stand in the beautiful land, and it will languish and be exhausted in his hand.
O que pois ha de vir contra elle fará segundo a sua vontade, e não haverá quem possa subsistir diante d'elle: e estará na terra gloriosa, e haverá consumição na sua mão.
17 Then will he set his face to enter, with the might of all his kingdom, and, equitable terms with him, will make, —and, a daughter of women, will he give him to corrupt her, but she will not remain, nor, his, shall she become.
E porá o seu rosto, para vir com a potencia de todo o seu reino, e com elle os rectos, e o fará: e lhe dará uma filha das mulheres, para a destruir a ella, mas ella não subsistirá, nem será por elle.
18 Then will he turn his face to the Coastlands, and will capture many, —but a commander, will bring to an end, his reproach against himself, that, his reproach, return not unto him.
Depois virará o seu rosto para as ilhas, e tomará muitas; e um principe fará cessar o seu opprobrio contra elle, e ainda fará tornar sobre elle o seu opprobrio.
19 Therefore will he turn his face towards the fortresses of his land, —but he shall stagger and fall, and shall not be found.
Virará pois o seu rosto para as fortalezas da sua terra, mas tropeçará, e cairá, e não será achado.
20 Then will rise up in his stead, one causing an exactor to pass through the ornament of the kingdom, —but, in a few days, shall he be broken in pieces, not with anger, nor in battle.
E em seu logar se levantará quem fará passar o arrecadador em gloria real; mas em poucos dias será quebrantado, e isto não em ira nem em batalha.
21 Then will rise up in his stead, one despised, and they will not lay upon him the dignity of the kingdom, —but he will come in unexpectedly, and strengthen the kingdom by flatteries;
Depois se levantará em seu logar um homem vil, ao qual não darão a dignidade real; mas virá caladamente, e tomará o reino com engano.
22 and, the arms of an overflowing flood, will sweep all before him, and they shall be broken in pieces, —moreover also, the prince of a covenant;
E os braços da inundação serão inundados de diante d'elle; e serão quebrantados, como tambem o principe do concerto.
23 and, by reason of the leaguing against him, he will work deceitfully, and will come up and become strong, with a small nation.
E, depois dos concertos com elle, usará de engano; e subirá, e será esforçado com pouca gente.
24 Unexpectedly, even into the rich places of the province, will he enter, and will do what neither his fathers nor his father’s fathers had done, prey and spoil and substance—among them, will he scatter, —and, against strongholds, will he devise plots even until a (convenient) time.
Virá tambem caladamente aos logares gordos da provincia, e fará o que nunca fizeram seus paes, nem os paes de seus paes; repartirá entre elles a preza e os despojos, e a riqueza, e formará os seus projectos contra as fortalezas, porém sómente por certo tempo
25 Then will he stir up his strength and his heart, against the king of the south, with a great army, and, the king of the south, will wage war, with a great and exceedingly mighty army, —but will make no stand, for they will devise against him plots;
E suscitará a sua força e o seu coração contra o rei do sul com um grande exercito; e o rei do sul se entremetterá na guerra com um grande e mui poderoso exercito; mas não subsistirá, porque formarão projectos contra elle.
26 and, they who have been eating his delicacies, will break him in pieces, and, his army, will he overwhelm like a flood, —and many wounded, will fall.
E os que comerem os seus manjares o quebrantarão; e o exercito d'elle inundará, e cairão muitos traspassados.
27 Now, as for the two kings, their heart, will be set on acting wickedly, and, at one table, will they speak, falsehood, —but it shall not succeed, for yet is the end for an appointed time.
Tambem estes dois reis terão o coração attento para fazerem o mal, e a uma mesma mesa fallarão a mentira, mas não prosperará, porque o fim ainda terá logar no tempo determinado.
28 So then he will return to his own land, with great substance, with, his heart, set upon a holy covenant; yea he will act with effect, and return to his own land.
E tornará para a sua terra com grande riqueza, e o seu coração será contra o sancto concerto; e obrará, e tornará para a sua terra
29 At the appointed time, will he again enter the south, —but it shall not be like the former, nor like the latter.
Ao tempo determinado tornará a vir contra o sul; mas não será a ultima como a primeira vez.
30 Then will come in against him the ships of Cyprus, and he will be disheartened, and again have indignation against a holy covenant, and will act with effect, —and again gain intelligence, concerning them who are forsaking a holy covenant.
Porque virão contra elle navios de Chittim, de que se entristecerá; e tornará, e se indignará contra o sancto concerto, e obrará, porque tornará a attender aos que tiverem desamparado o sancto concerto.
31 And, arms, from him, will arise, —and will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and will set aside the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and place the horrid abomination that astoundeth.
E sairão a elle uns braços, e profanarão o sanctuario e a fortaleza, e tirarão o continuo sacrificio, e porão a abominação assoladora.
32 And, them who are ready to deal lawlessly with a covenant, will he make impious by flatteries, —but, the people who know their God, will be strong and act with effect.
E aos violadores do concerto com lisonjas fará usar de hypocrisia, mas o povo que conhece ao seu Deus se esforçará e fará proezas.
33 And, they who make the people wise, will impart understanding to the many, —yet shall they be brought low, by sword and by flame, by captivity and by prey, for some days;
E os entendidos entre o povo ensinarão a muitos; e cairão pela espada, e pelo fogo, e pelo captiveiro, e pelo roubo, por muitos dias.
34 but, when they are brought low, they shall be helped with a little help, —and many, will join themselves unto them, by flatteries;
E, caindo elles, serão ajudados com pequeno soccorro; e muitos se ajuntarão com elles com lisonjas.
35 and, of them who make wise, some shall be brought low, to refine them, and to purify and make white, up to the time of the end, —for yet is it for an appointed time.
E alguns dos entendidos cairão, para os provar, e purgar, e embranquecer, até ao fim do tempo, porque será ainda até ao tempo determinado.
36 And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things, —and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done;
E este rei fará conforme a sua vontade, e se levantará, e se engrandecerá sobre todo o deus; e contra o Deus dos deuses fallará coisas maravilhosas, e será prospero, até que a ira seja acabada; porque aquillo que está determinado será feito.
37 and, for the god of his fathers, will he have no regard, nor, for the delight of women, nor for any god, will he have regard, —for, against all, will he magnify himself.
E não terá respeito algum ao Deus de seus paes, nem terá respeito ao amor das mulheres, nem a algum outro deus, porque sobre tudo se engrandecerá.
38 Howbeit, to the god of the fortresses, in his place, will he give honour, —even to a god whom his fathers, knew not, will he give honour, with gold and with silver and with precious stones and with articles of delight.
E ao deus das fortalezas honrará em seu logar, a saber, ao deus a quem seus paes não conheceram honrará com oiro, e com prata, e com pedras preciosas, e com coisas desejadas.
39 And he will prepare, for the strongholds of the fortress of the sea, the people of an alien god, whom he will acknowledge—will greatly honour, —and will give them authority over the many, and, the soil, will he apportion for a price.
E fará os castellos fortes com o deus estranho; aos que reconhecer multiplicará a honra, e os fará reinar sobre muitos, e repartirá a terra por preço.
40 And, in the time of the end, will the king of the south, push at him, and the king of the north, will rush against him, with chariots and with horsemen, and with many ships, —and he will enter the lands, and overwhelm and pass over;
E, no fim do tempo, o rei do sul lhe dará marradas, e o rei do norte o accommetterá com carros, e com cavalleiros, e com muitos navios; e entrará nas terras, e as inundará, e passará.
41 yea he will enter the beautiful land, and, many [lands], shall be laid low, —but, these, shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom and Moab, and the first portion of the sons of Ammon;
E entrará na terra gloriosa, e muitas terras serão derribadas, mas escaparão da sua mão estes: Edom e Moab, e as primicias dos filhos d'Amon.
42 yea he will thrust forth his hand against the lands, —and, the land of Egypt, shall have no deliverance;
E estenderá a sua mão ás terras, e a terra do Egypto não escapará.
43 and he will have authority over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the delightful things of Egypt, —with Libyans and Ethiopians among his followers;
E apoderar-se-ha dos thesouros de oiro e de prata, e de todas as coisas desejadas do Egypto; e os lybios e os ethiopes o seguirão.
44 but, tidings, will terrify him, out of the east, and out of the north, —therefore will he go forth with great fury, to destroy and to devote many;
Mas os rumores do oriente e do norte o espantarão; e sairá com grande furor, para destruir e extirpar a muitos.
45 and will plant his palace-home between the seas, towards the beautiful holy mountain, but shall come to his end, with none to help him.
E armará as tendas do seu palacio entre o mar grande, no monte sancto e glorioso; mas virá ao seu fim, e não haverá quem o soccorra.
